So I’ve finished my ten-part series on the various things that have contributed to how I became the person that I am. Some of the entries were stronger than others – more insightful and less narrative “I did this and then this and then this” but overall, they’ve been useful for me to consider those myriad factors that have led to who I am today.
To recap:
- Parents
- Friends
- Books
- Travel
- Sociability
- Comedy
- Not-For-Profit Cultural Sector
- Smalltown Saskatchewan
- Politics
- Shea
When I started this list, I brainstormed some potential ideas so I thought it’d be interesting to add some of those to this entry without long narratives.
Some of the other ideas I considered:
- Atheism
- Being Canadian
- Being A Child of the 1980’s
- Grandparents
- Most of My Previous Jobs In One Way or Another
- Working in Libraries
- Being A Library Patron
- Pop Culture
- Movies
- Music (Listening)
- Music (Playing…Poorly)
- Writing
- The Beatles
- Farming
- Science
- University – Undergrad
- University – England Exchange
- University – Library School
- Computers/The Internet
- Hockey
- Pro Wrestling
- Playing Sports
- Shea’s Family
- My Kids
Who knows? Maybe I’ll expand this series someday!
And I haven’t done this in forever but if there’s anyone out there, still reading, why not leave a comment (or send me a private message) with your own list of five or ten or however many things have made you who you are?
